Why doesnt California take that pride and live in the dark. It sounds like you are trying to force Texas to do something... power California. It is hardly environmentally friendly to mess something up a long ways away, it just makes the users pretend to be clean and provide stats for how much improvement has occurred. In fact, there was no improvement, there was only a relocated mess. Pay through the nose, deal with brownouts, or build plants... or reduce usage. Please, just please, don't talk about California's pride of protecting their own environment at the expense of someone else's.
I find it interesting that the US is accused of entering WWII too late, and considered selfish. They ended WWII too violently, and were again considered selfish. When NATO or UN decides to intervene, the US military ends up contributing a huge amount of manpower. (please dont bring up that they are always leading it, when the lead comes as a part of the manpower contribution.) Any action taken to avoid a late onset responsibility is judged as evil, and any avoidance of action is judged as selfish and evil. In order to avoid maintaining an occupation (obviously not a strong point of this military) they hand power to locals, and this ends up as support of their own enemies. I do believe that the US learned the same lesson as the rest of the world by dropping nukes, which is why it hasnt happened again. As for founded on rape pillage and murder... A LOT of that happened pre US. The occupation by Europeans of this new land brought enough disease that the conquest by force used by the expanding US met with a very small percentage of people that they may have run into had the diseases not arrived first (read guns, germs and steel for that estimate) .
Given that there will always be a negative viewpoint to the actions taken, the attitude of telling the world to "deal with it" is the only option.
I wish this had a chance to make me safer, but I am afraid it doesnt. I will go check out the movie you recommend, see what it does for me.
So now we understand the motives behind his actions for all this time. He wanted us to all scream about how stupid he is, and then submit the comments from/. as evidence that he didn't perjure himself.
My God, he is a genius.*

I agree with this. Take a step back and realise what is important. Allow your job to be a simple vehicle to provide money that allows other enjoyment in life. Find a focus outside of work that can be "what you do" when someone asks that at a party. Avoiding defining yourself by your career can help avoid getting disillusioned by the daily grind.
Try something active... running 3 miles under a time, breaking 90 in golf Try something creative... learn to paint or play sax
these also give you something to do with the family, and instead of resenting them for keeping you in a job that gives no pleasure. You can have a paycheck that allows you to enjoy life more with them, and since you're stuck with 'em, may as well enjoy it .
I thought fiend was intentional. Describing IT in its earlier phases this way could be accurate. I know that I would have my eyes wide open to the expected challenges if I were trying to begin again in an industry in its early phases.
strange drops in cancer rates from excessive sunlight exposure in bikini clad Caucasian women so we can end cancer by simply placing white women in bikinis? sign me up for the test!
Battery replacement to existing units is a great new line of revenue for any customers who aren't willing to just replace the original when it stops holding a charge.
My sons bedtime is around 7 pm. After this we sit quietly, have dinner, and then continue staying at home quietly. We can go out and do stuff one at a time, or hire a babysitter if we want to leave the house and remain in each others company.
You are right that while the child is awake you can go have a blast, but there is a huge amount of my life that has become sedentary while waiting for the boy to become more self sufficient.
What if there is the odd instance of someone with only $300k to spend. They can get a patent and not go to market, or go to market and get screwed by someone able to quickly copy the idea.
A lower value to the application and higher barriers to getting the patent approved solves this issue much better than a high price and low quality in the application.
I would also think that having just spent some time in a much less than 1 G environment, that the 10G is even more severe by relativity. Aren't the astronauts a bit wobbly when they return to a normal G load?
unless you only want to use your neat suitcase battery for tooling around our upper atmosphere, somebody is gonna have to figure out issues like creating food in harsh environments. There is no reason that both goals cannot be chased in parallel.
You can't seriously equate caffeine with heroin (for example) in the context of how it alters one's life and mental/emotional state. They both form dependencies, but one is far, far, more drastic than the other.
But yeah, the war on drugs is still stupid, stupid, stupid. No shit. I kicked heroin a long time ago.
check out the horseshoe crab. They were going to be completely destroyed until the medical industry offered to pay more for keeping them alive than the fishermen were paying to use them as bait. The species will actually continue only because of their medical uses. Maybe this will help.
There are already decent protections for legal hunting gator, and this may increase the pressure against poaching.
please someone correct me, but this appears like comcast is knocking down SYN floods. If this is the case, it is a good thing. In fact, if they stopped all connections both ways to some tool who is slamming the network with a bunch of crap at peak time for a limited time on each offense, wouldn't that be a good thing ?
I am still a customer, not happily though. I am 4 meters too far for DSL, and the satelite and cell tower options aren't so hot. In general I do get decent bandwidth, but I will have to go check out this new behavior.
Most of the stuff they are doing does not effect me, thankfully. I have seen them destroy my BT traffic on the few occasions that I have tried it. That was well before the publicity, and I just blamed the protocol at the time. Now I know...
My options are dial-up (slow than throttled cable modems) or steal a neighbors wireless, and hope they aren't on comcast also.
This is entirely true, but I choose a different tactic. Just ask the person trying to convince you to list the reasons why they are correct. At every point they make, nod your head up and down and say ok. It'll make em crazy and give up eventually, and you don't have to lower your behavior to such pointless aggression.
convincer: mine is better me: hmm-mm , ok convicer: it gives me access me: Hmm-mm , ok convicer: mine is cooler me: hmm-mm , ok convincer: you dont care do you me : grins , ok

Fuck you. My dad started teaching me about computers when I was only 5, and I have been huge into them ever since. Both years? I will give you credit for being a 7 year old with great grammar, but your vocabulary can be cleaned up a bit.

wow, and your's qualifies as all three... troll, off-topic, and flame, with the added benefit of juvenile name calling.
Bravo!
This may qualify as an incredible idea, but it definitely does not qualify as MicroSoft's incredible idea.
More of a "we can do that too" type of thing.

I hope the clones have a EULA banning Apple employees or agents from using this for use in establishing fraud or infringement cases.
Not that it would matter, but because it would be cute

Ya, this and every other girl online can be believed to really be female.

good point, thank you. I will sleep much better tonight.
The suggested solution, by transporting a LOT less water, may be a hair easier to deliver.
